| Decision |
The appellants were tried and convicted for offences under Section 337-F(i)(iii) of the Pakistan Penal Code and sentenced to one year of rigorous imprisonment for causing injuries to two individuals, Nazeer Ahmed and Ghulam Abbass. However, during the appeal process, applications were made under Section 345(5)(6) of the Criminal Procedure Code for permission to compromise the matter, which were accepted. As a result, the appellants were acquitted from the charge of causing injuries to Ghulam Abbass. The appeal was subsequently focused on the injuries caused to Nazeer Ahmed. It was noted that Nazeer Ahmed did not appear in court to testify about his injuries, and the prosecution failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for his absence. The court emphasized that without the testimony of the injured party, the prosecution's case could not be upheld. As a result, the conviction and sentence for the injuries to Nazeer Ahmed were set aside, and the appeal was allowed. |
